Hi-I have also just recently been told the devastating news after my blood results came back as high.. I had an mri/ ct scan pretty much straight away where they found a tumour on my left ovary also bowel and adrenal problems.. I'm so sorry.. please don't worry.. I know it's very difficult... and scary... I'm here if you need to chat..xx

I saw the consultant yesterday who asked for urgent CT and MRI scan. I am beyond petrified as I keep reading about ascites (I have a swollen tummy and she said she could see fluid around the pelvis). Did you have the swelling? What are your next steps. I've got a two week wait for results and not sure how I will get through it. I'm not sleeping, crying, worrying about other symptoms I seem to have developed. If it was only the high reading I think I would be less concerned but I'm worried the ascites is a sign I have advanced cancer.

Hi AcW, just touching base with you and checking how you're doing.  Hope the recovery is still going well xx

Hi , 

How did you have your hysterectomy  if you don't mind me asking? 

I'm waiting for my total on the 24th vertical cut . 

My cyst measured 17 x 11 x 11 cm the last time it was scanned . I'm hoping recovery from the op is ok x x 

Hi ladies, my recovery from the Op has gone well, I'm still taking it easy but doing more each day and off painkillers.  I also had the best news tonight, my consultant rang to say my 'lump' was a benign ovarian fibroma caused by Meigs syndrome. It's very rare and unique and I feel so so lucky as appreciate that many other people with my symptoms have a very different diagnosis. It has been such an emotional nightmare and I know you ladies appreciate that. I have learnt things I did not know on this journey so intend to pay back the kindness I have received by raising awareness of symptoms of ovarian cancer and might even do a 10k for charity x

The best news congratulations

What fantastic news I'm so pleased for you xx

Hi ladies how are you all doing? I've been thinking of you all today x

Hi I've had my surgery today. 

It couldn't of gone any better. I have had a lot of things removed and have a permanent stoma but they got it all and I'm now cancer free which is amazing considering it had spread from my ovaries. 

I just can't believe it and the awful surgery is all worth it. Some precautionary chemo to come but it has been successful which to be honest what not what I was expecting

oh Tink, I'm so pleased it went well. How are you feeling after the Op? Make sure you continue to take it easy, I feel like maybe I should have rested a bit more. X

How are you all doing? You are all often in my thoughts.

Hi, 

Spent the first 2 weeks in hospital as had an infection but I've been home now just over a week. 

Can't believe how tired and little energy I've had but am improving everyday. An afternoon nap is something I've never done but does really help and I feel so much better for it. At a stage where I can have a little trip away from the house for an hour or so and it feels like normality. 

I see my consultant next week for the histology report and to find out when chemo starts. I am just relieved that it was all removed and in six months this part should hopefully all be behind me.

Thank you for the kind thoughts xx
